Windmill & Video Player
The Windmill is located just off the central Town area.
Complete the door panel puzzle to get inside.
The control panel inside the door allows you to start the Windmill blades rotating.
Head down the stairs and through the tunnels to reach another door puzzle.
You'll find a stray panel on the floor inside.
On the other side you'll find two more puzzles to open a double door.
This opens a shortcut to the orange storage container area in the Town.
Back under the Windmill you'll find a video player - use the panel on the right to enter the following blueprint designs found in Secret Rooms and unlock videos to watch.
Using the completed designs on the six panels, you can freely navigate through each of the videos.
